I really wish the original movies were controlled by a faceless corporation, because I like the guy and all this seems too personal. And it feels weird and embarrassing to be begging for the privilege of giving my money for something that should be so simple. If I believed it was some Kubrick-y artistic integrity thing, I could let it go, but with all the trinkets Lucas WILL sell (action figures of his family etc., I still get email from my long-expired fan club subscription trying to sell me stuff) uh, no. So, I'll probably keep adding my own small voice to the chorus wanting those original versions treated well, since that's the only way it'll happen. This movie raises the question, it will be interesting to see if Lucas ever tries to interact with fans more directly, since the future of Star Wars (games, cartoons, toys, the TV show) is so much more connected to that hardcore world than it was before..
